Analysis of the important
historical information found in
the document
The historical information in Customs of Tagalog
describes the way of life of the Filipinos before Spanish
and Christian influences.
Marriage, rituals, burial, social classes and political
stratifications of the Tagalog region were tackled in this
primary source.
The claim of the Spaniards that when they arrive in the
Philippines, Filipinos were still uncivilized and lacking in
culture was proven wrong by Placensia’s account.
During the pre-colonial time, Filipinos became more
aware of morality and the beliefs of Christianity that the
Spaniards brought to us.

OF THE DOCUMENT
The original work itself is a product of observations
and judgments. Therefore, it is probable that Juan de
Plasencia’s work might contain partiality in
presenting his observation and judgment.
It has continued to serve as a basis for historical
reconstructions of Tagalog society. Pre-conquest
society were not swept by the advent of the Spanish
regime.
It affirms that during the pre-hispanic period,
Filipinos have already government as well as a set
of beliefs and practices. This account is considered
to be the foremost source of information about the
old customs of the Filipinos.
Most of the 16th century beliefs and practices are
still present today. Plasencia’s account preserves
and popularize the unwritten customs, traditions,
religion and superstitious beliefs of us Filipino.
THANK YOU!
